Yes, transit ridership is down nationally, but it's rising, and was above 70% of pre-pandemic ridership as of 2Q 2022. And it has risen every quarter, so probably more in the 75% range now. Disappointing, but headed in the right direction.

Off peak and weekend travel is basically 100%+ of pre-pandemic travel, so the obvious issue is changed work patterns.

Looking at the APTA numbers, it does appear Washington Metro is underperforming, but it makes sense given the economic base. And Washington Metro has always been a more hybrid metro-suburban rail system, focused on getting suburban professionals to their downtown workplaces (the same demographic most likely to WFH).
